Me, Big Mullet, his Daughter and Son-in-Law headed out to the shotgun range today.
I was experimenting with my Mossberg 590A1 and trap shooting. I learned a valuable lesson. The Mossberg 590A1 is a fine combat shotgun, it's also about the best you can get for protecting your home, but it isn't worth a damn for trap shooting. I know, I know, that's not what it's designed for, but I had to give it a try. My last round I hit 13 out of 25, which, if you think about it, isn't that bad for a close range gun.
Big Mullet, as usual kicked ass. His last round he hit 21 out of 25. Not bad at all. He hit 19 out of 25 on the next to last round.
Big Mullet's Daughter didn't shoot. She is a crack shot with an AR-15 though.
Her husband is an NRA pistol instructor and also teaches Concealed Carry classes. Today, though, was his first time shooting trap. He did a pretty good job though. He was firing my Mossberg 500 for two out of the three rounds we shot. I think his final round he hit 15 out of 25. Pretty respectable for his first time out.
It's funny, there is a group of guys that are always at the shotgun range on Saturday morning. They are all awesome human beings. They are quick to give a tip to improve your ability. They are eager to loan a gun to a guy in need. Just a great bunch of guys. Every trip out there is an enjoyable experience.
Today was the first time Big Mullet has been to this range. I think he will be back...
